0189 - A tricky day.

A beautiful
first blade (lâmina de crista).

Today we
started to collect the blades. Each one was numbered in the image on the laptop
in the field, so we can analyse the spatiality of the remounting between
fragments and understand the movement of the ploughing and the displacement of
materials.

But then it
came a heavy rain, and we had to leave the field. So, in the afternoon the work
was carried out in doors. The anthropologists cleaned the bones…

… and the
archaeologists the blades. These are the blades from tomb 3, so far.
